My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 415 Corpse Combination
The person who launched the surprise attack

It was naturally Shen Changchuan.

It's a very simple technique.
First, Xiao Jin appeared and attacked the patrolling members of the Corpse Refining Sect, drawing the Second Elder out of the protective formation.

Subsequently,

While he was fighting with Xiao Jin,
Having prepared in advance, he used a perfected second-tier concealment spell to stealthily approach his opponent from behind, and then suddenly launched an attack using a second-tier spell.

Attack the opponent from behind by stabbing them in the back.

It's a very simple method.

It is also very effective.

This canyon,

In the Second Elder's subconscious mind, it had already become a temporary base camp.

Little Gold's golden appearance would lead one to believe it is a demonic beast living in Golden Wind Valley.

Because the demonic beasts living in Golden Wind Valley are constantly washed by the energy containing a trace of Geng metal, their skin and shells are mostly light gold in color.

Also because of this,

At the moment I saw Kim Jong-un's attack,
The Second Elder instinctively believed that the attack on the encampment was caused by a monster that had wandered from somewhere.

In addition, being located at headquarters,

A false sense of security lies hidden deep in the subconscious.

This was completely unexpected.
All of this was just a trap to lure him out and launch a sneak attack!

And this effect,

It's also very good.

Just one strike,
The Second Elder, who was at the seventh level of the Nascent Soul stage, had already suffered a severe injury!
just,

At this moment, Shen Changchuan's figure was suspended in mid-air.

His gaze was heavy as he stared at the large crater created by the Second Elder's fall onto the canyon cliff.

They did not press their advantage.
Instead, a faint blue light emanated from his body, his power gathering as he focused his attention and became vigilant.

because,

Inside the smoke-shrouded canyon pit,
The opponent's aura did not weaken; instead, a gloomy and eerie aura spread out, and the smoke and dust were faintly tinged with the color of pitch-black smoke.

This is precisely why Shen Changchuan is cautious.

Take advantage of the victory and pursue it,

One wrong move and you could fall into a trap.

This attack has already given him the upper hand.

There's no need to rush.
Let's see how things go first.

between breaths,

A thought flashed through Shen Changchuan's mind.

at this time,

A fierce wind howled and swept across the land.
The dust and smoke kicked up by the Second Elder's attack were quickly dispersed by the strong wind.

The shape in the middle was revealed.

All that can be seen is that
In the middle of the canyon cliffs, at the center of a huge crater, several tens of meters in diameter, that had collapsed, lies...

A tall, imposing figure, shrouded in tattered clothes, stood in the middle of the pit. His body emanated wisps of black steam, and a strange, dark aura surrounded him, forcing the surrounding gale to disperse.

His face, though faintly visible, was none other than the Second Elder!
Observing his figure,

He was much more muscular than before!
"Damn you, you little beast! You've driven this old man to this state!"

The Second Elder's crimson pupils were fixed on Shen Changchuan high in the sky, his eyes filled with gloom and resentment, and his hoarse voice, like a broken bellows, echoed in the air.

On his burly body, which appeared to have grown significantly in size,
The waist area
A massive gash ripped through the flesh, exposing the stark white ribs.
Even from the wound, you can see that the previous blow, by a hair's breadth, almost pierced through the spine!

As you can see, Shen Changchuan's sudden attack earlier had caused him serious injury!
But at the same time,
There was not a drop of blood flowing from the Second Elder's wound, not even a trace of blood on his skin and flesh!
The exposed flesh was as pale as dry twigs, yet incredibly tough!

Give people the feeling,
The body the other person is in at this moment is not a living body.
It was a zombie!
"Body and corpse united!"

High in the sky, Shen Changchuan gazed at this scene and solemnly uttered these words.

Information from Elder Wu's memories
He was able to roughly deduce some of the circumstances.

The Second Elder's current situation is likely the result of using a profound forbidden technique within the Corpse Refining Sect.

The specific content of the forbidden technique,
Because of the restriction placed in Elder Wu's mind to prevent the information from being leaked, Shen Changchuan was unaware of it.

But he knew,

The main function of that forbidden technique is to allow the user to temporarily merge with the natal zombie he has created, thereby allowing the cultivator to add the strength of the natal zombie to himself and achieve a surge in strength!
Shen Changchuan also knew that

The Second Elder crafted a Silver Armor Corpse at the seventh level of the Nascent Soul stage.

This is why he decided to lure the opponent out first and then launch a sneak attack, rather than running out to fight them head-on.

Facing two Nascent Soul Stage 7 cultivators simultaneously, Shen Changchuan wasn't entirely confident of victory.

It would be better to set a trap.

Prepare for a fatal blow.

If it works out, that would be wonderful.

Even if it's not perfect, it can't be that bad.

Shen Changchuan just didn't expect that,
The plan was only half successful.

The assassination was successful.

It also dealt a heavy blow to the opponent.

but,
After the opponent was severely injured, he decisively used a forbidden technique without any hesitation.

Human and corpse merged into one.

Not only did he forcefully suppress his injuries using this forbidden technique, but his strength also increased rapidly in a short period of time, reaching a level close to the eighth stage of the Nascent Soul realm!
"This forbidden technique has extremely severe side effects, causing irreversible damage to a cultivator's body. If the battle drags on for too long, it could even turn the body directly into a zombie."

"The enemy shouldn't be able to hold out for long; a protracted war is to my advantage."

"But the question is, can I wage a protracted war?"

Shen Changchuan glanced down at Xiao Jin, who was perched at the entrance to the space, preventing other members of the Corpse Refining Sect from entering the secret realm to report the intrusion.

Such a thought involuntarily flashed through my mind.

This was part of the plan from the very beginning.

Based on the information obtained from Elder Wu's mind, the leader of the Corpse Refining Sect and another elder of the Corpse Refining Sect at the seventh level should have entered that secret realm ruins.

Therefore, before taking action,

Shen Changchuan instructed Xiao Jin to guard the entrance to the secret realm after completing the task of luring the enemy, preventing anyone from entering and relaying the message inside.

The plan is progressing fairly well.

but,
Even so,
Shen Changchuan also knew that,

I would never engage in a war of attrition with this person!

The longer it drags on,

The greater the chance of an accident, the higher the probability of it happening!

Even though he had calculated it precisely, he launched the attack shortly after seeing a member of the Corpse Refining Sect enter the secret realm ruins through that spatial entrance.

But Shen Changchuan wasn't sure either.

How long will it take for the people inside to realize something is wrong?
"We must fight quickly!"

In just a few breaths,
Shen Changchuan had already made up his mind!
And just right,
The other side had the same idea.

"After using this forbidden technique repeatedly over the years, my body has become largely zombie-like. I cannot fight for long and must finish this battle quickly!"

It's a long story,
But in reality, it only took a few breaths to happen.
boom!
The second elder stepped into the pit, and the hard rock collapsed with a crash. The powerful recoil...
He shot into the sky like a cannonball, piercing through the air and tearing a long channel of airflow in the air, meeting Shen Changchuan's overwhelming punch head-on!
